I have been sitting here, in front of my computer, for most of the day. Oh, sure, I’ve driven to work and back and played with the dogs. But I am slave to my computer. My game systems. My iPhone. Anything with a glowing screen and buttons. It has come to a point where I’ve […]

Video gamers summarily say that they love EA (Electronic Arts) and despise EA. A lot of times it is due to the fear that they’ll purchase every other video game developer out there and then churn out crap. Personally? I don’t know if I care that much right now. I’m tired of playing the Madden […]

I have a small problem that I may be blowing out of proportion. See, I’ve turned into a grumpy old fart but I still like to think that I have an open mind and I’m pretty liberal. Recently, though, I’ve hit a brick wall and it involves my 13 year old niece. I was at […]

I was at home this weekend with Angela trying to sort out my media collection on our network. Wow. We’ve got quite a collection of…uh…stuff. It was a nice stroll down memory lane going through some of this. Especially when I hit the movie “Hackers”. It was interesting reliving some of the techno babble of […]

I’ve just started using this WordPress App for the iPhone and I think it is the bees knees. Previously, I would have either set up the blogs the I write for to accept posts by email or I would have to use the phone’s web browser. Using the browser was always a little bit of […]

In the anime Naruto there is a taijutsu technique known as the Sennen Goroshi (1000 Years of Pain). Yes, the little boy’s mentor, Kakashi, pokes him in the patoot. A number of years later, after Naruto returns from training with another mentor, he tries to return the favor Oddly enough (or maybe not so odd), […]

Angela and I went to the supermarket today and I saw what I though was the coolest thing: That’s right! Bread in the form of a snake! Oh, man! THAT IS SO FRIGGIN’ NEAT! I know, I know…it is just dough which has been made into an “S-curve” with the top part of the dough […]

You know, I used to work in offices that were similar to this. It was a grand old time, full of energy, creativity, fun and productive people. It seems like it was so long ago. The Great Office War Yeah, I need to find a similar environment to be in.

I have heard from several of you that you wonder where my updates are. I find it interesting that, once you filter out the search engines and spammers, I have a pretty decent number of regular readers. Why haven’t I been updating this more? Simple – I’ve been cheating on you. For the past few […]

I am, for all intents and purposes, merely mortal. A mortal composed of flesh and bone and blood; dripping with an abundance of life and emotions – hopes and dreams and tons of other stuff that I’m sure people smarter and more eloquent could articulate much better than slovenly old me. Keeping this in mind, […]

Hey! Look at that! It is Sunday night and, lo and behold, I have writer’s block! Well, that’s sorta true and sorta untrue. I have a lot that I want to talk about but really no idea how I want to talk about it. Go figure, I’m at a loss for words. This is one […]

Angela and I bought Grand Theft Auto IV when it came out. No, we didn’t wait outside of Best Buy and snatched it at midnight on release day. We have work, you know. We did, however, pick it up later on release day. There were plenty of copies. Due to work and my schedule, I […]

Sandee Westgate. I’ll be honest, I barely know who this woman is. Evidently she was in Playboy and, according to her website she’s: …a girl-girl adult film star, and XXX magazine model. I’m known online as the “Playboy Model gone bad”. I’ve been featured in Playboy publications over a dozen times and I have stepped […]

If I ever get around to rescheduling my paintball outing I know that there are at least two things that I’m going to want to bring with me: A mini-gun I hear that some of the more powerful and intricately designed mini-guns rely on multiple battery packs. I also think that a custom feed would […]

A blast from the past!

Sometimes I miss the days when the world wasn’t so politically correct. I am, quite possibly, over romanticizing those days. Even during the 1970’s people thought that “All in the Family” was pretty controversial.

Note: If you’re looking for any of my weird Easter candy eating, try this post – I Want Candy! I Want Candy! at None More   Worthless.  Happy Easter! I gotta stop playing video games. At least the type that are based on realistic war simulations. I’ve been playing Call of Duty 4 on the […]

[youtube width=”320″ height=”264″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKBnuZoA-9o[/youtube] Iron Man. You know, I never used to read this comic but I’ll be darned if I don’t go see this in a theater. Angela and I normally wait for things to come out on DVD (or torrent…shhhhhhhh!) but, dang. I want to watch a movie in the theater that makes me […]

[youtube width=”320″ height=”264″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzekF1RSTdY[/youtube] Holiday season has rolled around and I’m having a really hard time finding presents for people. Not because I don’t know what to get them. More often than not it is because I get distracted by something else. Something that I want. For me. Yes, I get greedy and start shopping for […]

This is weird.  And when I say weird, I mean this one is a little way out of left field, even for me. Almost every weekday I get to Rosslyn, park my car and walk to the Metro station to take downtown.  This normally happens around the same time every day.  We all know that […]

I got back into town Sunday evening. Wow. California. Nice place but I wouldn’t want to live there. One of the first things that Harrison told me when I got there was ‘All the men here are complete pussies’. Then he recounted how they behaved like spineless freaks when confronted by women. You know that […]

Ok. Sue me. During a shopping excursion this weekend I HAD to get this: From the Coach website: TRANSATLANTIC LEATHER LARGE COMMUTER This bag’s intelligent design, flexibility and smart appearance is perfect for business and travel. Inside zip pocket Cellphone/pen/multi-function pocket Outside pocket with magnetic snap Zip-top closure Glove-tanned leather with leather trim Fabric lining […]

I’m not going to say I’m a music snob. On the contrary. I’ll listen to almost anything.  However, I made the honest mistake of listening to the Billboard Top 100. Let me be perfectly honest – I download music. Yes, yes.  However, the music that is on a regular RSS download feed through Azureus is […]

I’ve been in a deep, blue funk for the past week. Aside from having the Chet Baker anthology on my iPhone (1953-1997), I’ve been on the Metro listening to music that helps me maintain that funk. You know how it goes – you gain momentum and you just can’t stop. In some weird, strange way […]

Dear Allison, I’ll admit it – I looked at your picture on the internet. I have absolutely no idea how I came across the article on the sports blog “With Leather”, but I did look at your picture and think to myself “Holy cow. 18?! She’s gorgeous.” And then I got curious and looked to […]

I was having a discussion at work the other day with one of the database developers. We’re a decent group of people ranging from late 20’s to a guy who has been there for 26 years (I’d guess he’s in his 50’s/60’s). We got into a discussion about the signs of getting older. You know, […]

Last night I sat in front of the television for the first time in a long time. I don’t know if I just hate American television or if I have a short attention span…look! A shiny nickel!! Well, I started flipping through the stations. I didn’t want to watch network tv because, to be honest, […]

Online Conversations I’ve Had Today: Me: Hehehe… Me: I’m trying to get Amy to bet me whether or not Heather Mills leg flies off while she’s spinning on Dancing with the Stars Wife: dude thats all over vegas Wife: she’s even been asked about it happening Me: If I were her I’d just loosen it […]
